Dear SoldidWorks colleagues,
 

It it legal to buy a SolidWorks Standard license as a private person? And then work with it in a company?

In detail:
The company I work for, decided to cancel all SolidWorks subscriptions from 2026 for Production department. That is around 30+ SolidWorks subscriptions. Management made a decision, that the whole Production department has to switch to Inventor.
The company will keep one SolidWorks subscription, but not for our department.

Is it legal, if I buy a SolidWorks Standard license (permanent version), and then use if for my work in that company?

I do not own the company, I just work there.

Other questions as: "Inventor is the same as Solidworks / Your supervisor will not allow / Just find a company which uses SolidWorks..." are not part of my question.

Inventor in my opinion is a subpar software, riddled with bugs.
I think, the only reason Management decided to switch to Inventor is - it is slightly cheaper. You get what you pay. But that is other topic.

I would only like to know if it is legal for me to buy a SolidWorks license as a private user. And then use it for working in the company. I would have SolidWorks installed only on my company's PC. Not on my private PC/laptop. So only installed on one PC.

I can ask the local VAR. But I just wanted to get some insight from the community first. The community often has better overview than the reseller.
 

I would be grateful for any kind of help on this issue.
